Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 107 Wang Tianlin's Worries
Everyone couldn't figure out what Lin Daoqiu's words meant. After all, they lost, and they lost badly, so how could they be happy.

"That's right, "Chu Liuxiang" did get 59 points, which is a full 30 points more than our "Ip Man". Unless the brain is broken, people will be happy, but..."

Lin Daoqiu lengthened the ending, looked around and continued: ""Chu Liuxiang" is no longer available, and we still have a lot of room for improvement. Isn't this something to be happy about?"

It sounds like Lin Daoqiu's words are too optimistic. Although "Ip Man" has a lot of room for growth in theory, "Chu Liuxiang" can also grab the audience who watched "Ip Man".

It's just that now everyone is attracted by the vision Lin Daoqiu described, and no one will seriously think about it.

"Don't look at "Chu Liuxiang" surpassing us by 30 points, but as long as we can get 15 points and "Chu Liuxiang" falls by 15 points, then we will be tied."

30 points sounds like a lot, but in fact the gap doesn’t sound that big. At the beginning, everyone thought that “Chu Liuxiang” would win, but after hearing Lin Daoqiu’s explanation, it seems that the gap between them is actually not that big, and there is every chance to surpass it.

A group of people who were still very depressed suddenly felt that it was not impossible to surpass "Chu Liuxiang", and it seemed very possible.

"Today, the TV station told me that the number of viewers who called to consult "Hot-Blooded Man" has exploded ten times more than usual, so I am very confident in "Ip Man."

This sentence was made up by Lin Daoqiu, he never asked how many viewers called the TV station.

It's just that he wants to set up a confidence for everyone to surpass "Chu Liuxiang". In this way, whether it is the leading role or ordinary actors, as well as the staff on the scene, they will work hard for this goal.

"I'm here to announce that if "Ip Man" is lucky enough to surpass "Chu Liuxiang" once during the airing period, I will hold a celebration banquet at the best seafood restaurant, and everyone will have red envelopes."

Although it has not yet been determined that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, Lin Daoqiu still wants to give them a little bit of sweetness, and it is necessary to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely make you spend a lot of money this time."

Xu Xiaoming is a smart man. As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he immediately stepped forward and patted Lin Daoqiu's chest to reassure him.

The staff and the leading actors were also holding back their energy. They thought that "Ip Man" must win "Chu Liuxiang" no matter what.

"Thank you Director Xu."

Lin Daoqiu leaned close to Xu Xiaoming's ear and whispered something.

"Mr. Lin, you're welcome. In fact, I'm just helping myself." Xu Xiaoming quickly shook his head.

…………

"Old Dou, the manuscript has been delivered."

As one of the screenwriters of "Chu Liuxiang", Wang Jing handed over the script to Wang Tianlin on time every day.

Although everyone has always thought that Wang Jing has been studying screenwriting and filming with Wang Tianlin, but this is not the case.

According to Wang Jing's own interview later, Wang Tianlin's education method is to use the method of teaching by changing children.

When Wang Jing entered TV station as a screenwriter, his mentor was Liu Tianci, the gold medal producer of TVB, not Wang Tianlin as everyone thinks.

After receiving the script, Wang Tianlin opened it and read it carefully. For the script written by Wang Jing, Wang Tianlin seldom or almost never praised it.

But if the script he wrote couldn't satisfy Wang Tianlin, he had to revise it immediately until his father was satisfied with the script.

Wang Jing was used to this for a long time. After handing over the script to Wang Tianlin, she poured herself a glass of water, then sat quietly on a chair and waited for Wang Tianlin to finish reading the script.

After a while, Wang Tianlin put the script together after reading it.

"The writing is not bad." What he said meant that the script written by Wang Jing today was considered passed.

Hearing what Wang Tianlin said, Wang Jing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that he didn't have to work overtime to revise the manuscript today.

"By the way, old bean, what clothes do you think I should wear to the celebration banquet then?"

As one of the screenwriters of "Chu Liuxiang", Wang Jing is naturally qualified to attend this celebration banquet.

But when Wang Tianlin heard it, he just glanced sideways at Wang Jing, and then said calmly: "It's not that you are asked to win the prize, you can wear whatever you want."

"How can I say that I am also the screenwriter of "Chu Liuxiang", and I will be criticized if I dress too casually."

"So what if you are the screenwriter of "Chu Liuxiang"? I'm still the producer of this drama. Do I have to wear a flower on my head when I go to the celebration banquet? Crazy."

Wang Jing didn't dare to talk back to Wang Tianlin, he actually had a reason for asking this way.

"Old Dou, Miss Fang will definitely be there at that time. If I dress decently, she will have a better impression of me."

It can be said that Wang Tianlin knew his son very well. As soon as he poked his butt, Wang Tianlin knew what he wanted to do.

"You want Miss Fang to start a drama for you? And it's a fashion drama?"

Wang Jing didn't expect Wang Tianlin to guess her idea so quickly, and also knew that what she wanted to do was a fashion drama.

Staring like a frog, Wang Jing looked at Wang Tianlin in disbelief. He really couldn't figure out how the other party guessed it.

"Silly boy, you old man, I have been on the TV station for so many years. I haven't seen anyone. You want to attract Miss Fang's attention. Naturally, you want to start a drama. You haven't mentioned this to me, which proves that this drama Not what I'm good at."

Wang Tianlin explained Wang Jing's thoughts clearly in a few words, which surprised him greatly.

But since Wang Tianlin found out, Wang Jing is no longer hiding it.

"Old Dou, I want to attract Ms. Fang's starring role. I really want her to give me a movie. I have a good subject here that I want to shoot."

Wang Tianlin thought for a while, and felt that Wang Jing was right to do so, so he nodded and said, "Give me the outline of the script first, and then you can go to Miss Fang when it's ready."

"Don't worry, old Dou, the "Chu Liuxiang" I edited got 59 points, and it may get higher and higher. You should trust your son."

Originally, Wang Jing thought that he would get Wang Tianlin's support for saying this, but he never expected that the other party's face suddenly darkened.

"Zai, remember, there are many reasons why "Chu Liuxiang" got 59 points. I don't deny that you did have credit, but you are not the most important person, and..."

Wang Tianlin suddenly sighed and said, "And maybe the ratings of "Chu Liuxiang" will not be as good as the first day."

This is definitely the most shocking thing Wang Jing heard today. It is simply unbelievable that Wang Tianlin is not optimistic about the follow-up trend of "Chu Liuxiang".
